Clueless

Koi Na Jaane Kya Hoga Kal,
Kaise Honge Aane Waale Pal…

Life poses such challenges to some people that they are left clueless at times. They say that, “If life throws lemons at you, make lemonade”. But it is not always as easy to do so as it sounds. Sometimes the darkness longs for so long that you have to light up a lamp of hope to survive the darkness. Keep enough hope to keep the lamp burning.

When people start analyzing what wrong they have done and they find only good things, they become clueless. Why God doesn’t play fair and if he does why one has to cross the lethal desert before reaching the oasis? But, I would say that there are few things we cannot do much about. All we can do is to keep the faith. Even if things don’t get any better, this faith will give a reason to live.

I can still remember those days when I was so sick that I felt as if I am going to die. Sometimes medicines don’t work but prayers do. I had been injected so many times in a day that I had stopped feeling the needle going into my flesh. But I still remember the fragrance of the flowers from Hanuman Setu lying beside my bed. I still remember my mother, maternal aunt, father and many others standing by me. They gave me the strength to bear the pain with a smile. And I kept the faith.

Keep the faith. Everything will be right again.

Cheers!!

Learning to Fly

Arose from the ashes,
Will not be intimidated by the crashes,
Bound to rise high,
As I am learning to fly…

Will see the world,
From the eye of a bird,
One day I shall soar like a kite in the sky,
As I am learning to fly…

Will float in the air,
Like a leaf in the water,
This ain’t a lie,
As I am learning to fly…

Belief is what it needs,
When one tries impossible indeed,
Feeling dreamy,
Yeah, I am going to fly..

Cheers!!

Or

Entwined in the web,
Riding the ebb,
Faded the images of all time high,
Didn’t even get the time to sigh…

Lost to the losers,
Coughing among smokers,
The door is closed,
The voice choked…

Frames changed rapidly,
But the time moves steadily,
Aghast,
Why’s life moving so fast?

Pretty faces ignored,
Why so bored?
Love’s an illusion,
There is no confusion…

This phase of life,
Cutting like a knife,
Will I bounce back?
Or will  I lose the track?

Cheers!!

The Mask…

Will I ever get real,
Free from haze of surreal,
Wake up!! everyday the sun shouts,
Ignoring the Sun, I pull up the quilt…

In the mirror I don’t see my face,
The reflection looks fake,
Innermost desires squealing in my head,
After hitting the mask, they are falling dead…

Peel it off,
tells me the subconscious often,
Don’t, the conscious warns,
As I try to put it off…

Stuck in this fight,
I am unable to decide,
Whose side I should take?
Fall under gravity or jump against it…

Cheers!!

Chooser

Lights, camera action,
Don’t think ’bout the repercussion,
I know you have got the passion,
Believe in your own creation..

Play it hard,
Don’t panic in the start,
It will start moving,
You just have to keep pushing…

Think that you are the one,
Keep up the momentum,
Never say die,
Keep searching for the pie in the sky…

Sing dance and enjoy,
Don’t shy,
You would remember this music, the dance, and the moments of romance,
So, save this moment to remember in trance…

Hit hard every moment,
So that you can clap with joy in the end
Be a chooser, the one who calls the shots,
Not just another beggar set at naught…

Cheers!!!

Dilli Che (6)

-    All the songs are good. I liked the ‘Hey Kala Bandar’ the most. Its lyrics make perfect sense.
-    Girls in traditional Indian families are still not free to take the decisions for them. Firstly, father takes all the decision and then the husband comes into picture. Sad but true.
-    People are still fighting with each other. They don’t believe in using their common sense before breaking an old relationship.
-    Religion is a way to keep the faith alive. But we fight over it.
-    God is everywhere.

“Zarre Zarre main usi ka noor hai,
Jhank khud main na wo tujse door hai,
Ishq hai usse to sabse ishq kar,
Is ibadat ka bas yahi dastoor hai.
Isme usme aur usme hai wohi,
Yaar mera har taraf bharpoor hai.”
-    We still hear the news of an old man getting married to a young girl. Much needs to be changed.
-    Casteism is still prevalent in some parts of India. People are still not ready to accept the reality. On one side we praise lord ‘Ram’ for eating the plums touched by low caste ‘Shabari’ but on the other side we are shy to learn and follow the same in our life. Hypocrites are what we are.
-    The strong is harassing the weak. People still don’t understand that power comes with a responsibility.
-    Public servants don’t understand their job profile.
-    ‘Purani Dilli ki Ramleela’ is awesome.
-    Politics sucks.
-    Fall in love. It can change your life like it did so for Roshan.

Watch Dilli 6. It is not about Purani Dilli, it’s about us.

Cheers!!

Hey It’s V day again..

“Smile: The second best thing you can do with your lips.”
By the way, what do you think is the first best thing you can do with your lips? Well, the answer varies from person to person. So, what would be the best thing you can do on a valentine day? Think about it *Wink*.

One of my friends was very excited about the pink chaddhi campaign. I heard him saying that if he doesn’t get a valentine, he would send a huge pink chaddhi, which he hopes would fit the intended recipient, to someone with a contrasting trouser so that the guy can feel like a superhero after wearing the chaddhi and the trouser. Today I read in the news paper that ‘someone’ has given a statement that protest would not happen in Bangalore. Instead the guys have planned to protest in front of indecently dressed girls. So, girls beware if you have plans to wear any thing indecent. Boys, you are free to wear anything. You might have to face a silent protest by the guys identified by the pink chaddhi over contrasting denim.

On last V-day we gifted a bunch of heart shaped balloons to a group of pretty ladies. One of the ladies busted all of them. It was fun. Hope we would do something similar this time also.

Which is the place to be? Barista, M G Road.

What color should one wear? Well, green is the color.

DevD is not a nice movie but its songs are rocking. I am going crazy over them. Delhi6 would be good movie to watch if you have a flower and you don’t know who you should give it to. Sonam Kapoor is looking very pretty in ‘Masakalli’. Ain’t she?

I have one more plan for the V-day. I have to treat my cook with a cup of ‘Jaago Re’ tea.
My cook has been cooking a lot of food everyday. Whenever we asked her to cook rice, she went an extra mile to cook and extra kg of rice. We could never finish it. I have bought a packet to Tata tea. I believe we would be able to wake her up.

Wish you all a happy and safe valentine day *Wink*

Cheers!!

I do not need to run

Sky was dark,
It was raining cats ‘N’ dogs,
Sitting in a park,
drenched in rain,
I still was thinking,
Where should I run?

There were flowers,
There were trees and plants,
A peacock dancing with joy,
A frog crooning an unknown song,
The empty swing,
I thought,
Why was I still,
finding a way to run?

Came close to the swing,
hurt and broken,
I sat on the swing,
to and fro,
I was swinging,
fast and faster,
Something from inside told me,
That there was no need to run.

Cheers!!

Free Fall…

Climbed up high,
The peak still far,
A skid not longed for,
I was free to fall…

Times spent climbing up,
Were long and memorable,
Passed them in a jiffy,
During the free fall…

Hit the groung zero,
It was the death of a hero,
The soul arose,
With a desire for more,

Everyone experiences the free fall,
Some of them give up all,
Some listen to their heart’s call,
And prepare themselves for another free fall…

Cheers!!

Flashback

Good times, there have been many,
At times, have been crazy,
Flashes of past,
Flashback…

A kid tottering,
Started walking,
Pictures still afresh,
Flashback…

Studies, sports,
Fun and frolic,
The dream begins,
Those sweet days,
Flashback…

A girl came,
Love happened,
The memory remains,
Flashback…

Dreams and Ambitions,
A lot have to be done,
List created long back,
Flashback…

Long winding road,
Traveled a little far,
Whenever took rest,
Mind showed,
Flashbacks…

Cheers!!
